BotBrew “anise”

I am delighted to announce the immediate availability of BotBrew on Google Play. This first release brings cross-compiled command line software to Android, along with a package manager based on opkg and a service manager based on runit. Some highlights include:

an almost-complete busybox with 327 applets
have more of your favorite commands without the bloat

python and rubyscript on-the-go, or run django- and rails-powered servers

subversion and gitaccess source code using two popular version control systems

BotBrew could be used with any terminal app that provides a local shell, but Hacker’s Keyboard and Script Manager might be helpful, too. Spread the word if you like BotBrew! If you have trouble with BotBrew or have bugs to report, feel free to email us at botbrew@inportb.com or chat with us at #botbrew on irc.freenode.net. And we’d love to hear from you if you want to distribute your own software using BotBrew.
